    Ours went up last night, we were assisted by ds1-ds3 (5, 4 & 18 months).

    We had to play hunt the bauble before we could hang them as ds3 was throwing them everywhere. Got there in the end though ;)
  • we are putting ours up on Sunday...can't wait to see my 3.5 year old's face as she helps to decorate the tree and sees it all lit up!
  • Mine went up on the first :) I love Christmas

    Bought mine today & its currently in the boot of my car. I will get round to doing it this week though. I've bought some fairy lights for the window as well, I love seeing houses all lit up at christmastime.

    NO!

    I plan for it to be up in time for the day the Morris dancers come for lunch. That's the 19th. DH was worried there won't be any left. Hmm
